Smart move by Donati. If she can draw out her court trial three years or more (such as what accused embezzler Mark Sturm is doing), that's three more years at, say, $140K per year as an SFPD Sergeant before they would kick her off the force. By then maybe she'd even qualify to retire...

Someone with that lack of judgment and sense of entitlement should not be allowed to carry a firearm, or decide who is committing a crime. I am so glad that it happened in San Mateo County. Hopefully the SFPOA will let the case proceed.

My position is clear. If she isn't charged, the system is crap. Did the DA file charges? How do we find out? (Editor's note: We expect the DA to announce his finding August 29. It will be posted here.)

D.A. Wagstaffe says he will decide by Tuesday whether or not to file formal charges against SFPD Sgt. Donati. Are there any Riptide readers who feel certain that she will be charged or certain that she will not? And to what extent does her SFPD occupation shape your opinion, whether yea or nay?
